This problem-based RWLO can be used
either as a classroom / computer lab activity or assigned for
homework to provide an opportunity for students to graph real
world data using a spreadsheet program. It is recommended that
each student work individually to create their climatograms.
Also, before assigning this activity to your
students, it is HIGHLY recommended that you follow the Student
Directions and create a climatogram yourself using the weather
web site. This will prepare you for whatever inevitability you
may encounter.

Back-up:

Download the climatogram.xls
spreadsheet (13.5 KB) to each of the student computers or to a
diskette prior to the lesson and save/print out the climate
(temperature and precipitation) data for Your City from the
Weather Channel web
site and all of the materials referenced in the Content Material
section of this web site.
